I am an upcoming teacher eager to guide students in Reading and Writing for the fourth grade! This will be my first year teaching in the fall and I can not anticipate the moment that i can finally begin my journey with my scholars! I am a product of the unfortunate lack of educational resources. Therefore, that is how I stumbled across Teach For America whose mission is to have equity for all children one day. We shared devotion to educational equity and that alone created a strength in the movement for change and my commitment to Dallas, Texas. My passion for equity began when I encountered children within my own community, in New Jersey, who expressed through their actions a crave of education but yet a sense of hopelessness due to the lack of resources. Immediately, I fell in love with this career path and wanted the best for all students which lead me to join Teach For America! Furthermore, I have a genuine dedication to build a strong community within my classroom. I will use the funds to provide the general such as teaching supplies, books, in- class activities and maybe even technology to encourage the manipulation of minds as well as having a great environment. Overall, any dollar amount is greatly appreciated and will be used towards my classroom supplies!
